Match Day Thread Hartlepool United v Sunderland AFC - Friendly - Tuesday 1st August 2023 - KO 19:30

Looked like hes never played RCB in a back 3 before, didnt seem to know when to hold position and when to press

 

Patterson on

 

I just hope Mowbray resists the temptation to throw on some of the main players to get some respectability back.

Id let this lot play the 90

 

Pritchard our only goal threat atm

 

Enjoying the match with my mates.

 

Im hoping middlemas might get a run out, quite like the look of him. Be surprised if any of the 1st teamers come on

 

Jesus man. Why is Ba trying to take a billion touches. Just hit it across goal with ya left !

 

Good chance for Ba
- but puts it wide

 

Ba is a goal threat with his movement, just ashame he wants loads of touches before he shoots

 

Reminds me of Amad when he first joined. Ba will come good.

 

Pritchard shoots straight at the keeper

 

Hes getting into the positions which is encouraging, just needs more composure and urgency

 

He needs to track back quicker as well for me, just strolling back at times

 

He’s young, sure the squad will make sure he pulls his weight come the season

 

I am a little worried about Big DB. Looks to look even more laboured since returning from injury.

 

100%, said this to my dad he just doesnt look right in this game does he

 

Definitely not. Not sure if the unfamiliar system or what but isn't moving across the grass well enough.

 

Much better than. Lovely ball and nice finish.
